Pope Francis tells in 'The Successor' about his 10 years of living together with Benedict XVI

Vatican City, Apr 2 (EFE) - (Image: Daniel Cáceres) Pope Francis tells for the first time how the 10 years of coexistence with Benedict XVI - in which the different factions opposed the two pontiffs - in a book in which he assures that he always defended him and never allowed people to speak ill of him.

FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES OF THE BOOK'S WRITER, SPANISH JOURNALIST JAVIER MARTÍNEZ-BROCAL.

Translation:

It was necessary for Pope Francisco to give his version of what has happened in these ten years of coexistence between the two popes. No one had asked him in detail, and the truth is that I was surprised by the freedom with which he spoke about the most difficult episodes and also how he lived the problems in these ten years of coexistence.
